The host galaxy of the super-luminous SN 2010gx and limits on explosive nickel-56 production
Ting-Wan Chen, Stephen J. Smartt, Fabio Bresolin +6
Super-luminous supernovae have a tendency to occur in faint host galaxies which are likely to have low mass and low metallicity. While these extremely luminous explosions have been…
Interacting Supernovae and Supernova Impostors. SN 2009ip, is this the end?
A. Pastorello, E. Cappellaro, C. Inserra +41
We report the results of a 3 year-long dedicated monitoring campaign of a restless Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) in NGC 7259. The object, named SN 2009ip, was observed photometrical…
Ultra-Luminous Supernovae as a New Probe of the Interstellar Medium in Distant Galaxies
E. Berger, R. Chornock, R. Lunnan +27
We present the Pan-STARRS1 discovery and light curves, and follow-up MMT and Gemini spectroscopy of an ultra-luminous supernova (ULSN; dubbed PS1-11bam) at a redshift of z=1.566 wi…
